Good morning,

I have just started using Nirvana and out of all the other web apps I have tried this one is the best so far. I have a couple of questions.

1. When I create a new project I can add a due date. If I add this due date to the project does that mean I dont have to add the same due date to all the tasks for the project? IE Does this date filter down to my tasks?

2. Is it possible to repeat a project. For example creating invoices for my clients has about 3 tasks in the project. I would like the whole project to repeat at the start of every month?

3. Is there a way to copy an already created task? Why because it would be quicker than inputting all the information to another task that has the same tags, dates, time and energy.

4. Is it possible to add tags or dates etc to multiple tasks in one go?

Any help in these areas would be appreciated,

Scott

   Hi,

   Welcome to Nirvana! I am new user as well, but I will try to answer your questions.

   1. Nope, the due date is for the whole project and not individual tasks in the project.

   2. There is not easy way to repeat tasks yet. My personal hack is when I know I have to do a particular task again soon, instead of marking it complete I just set the new date for it. This way it has a new due date for the next time the task is due and you don't have to re-write the same task again.

   3. There is no easy way to copy tasks yet, other than doing it manually.

   4. I don't think there is a way to edit multiple tasks yet.

   There are talks of a major release coming (soon?), and here is the list of new development going on :http://help.nirvanahq.com/faqs/site-updates/whats-next

   Hope this helps

   Yash

   Great response.

   I wanted to add that a Projects due date normally does not reflect the task and in most cases this would be the norm. You can assign due dates to task as needed and in most cases you will have to complete certain task to make progress in the project.
